Travel film is spiritual journey

“Jesus in Egypt: The Greatest Untold Story,” the next film in the Travel Adventure Series, is part travel-adventure, part spiritual journey and part historical detective story.

The program, which begins at 7 p.m. Monday at Sturges-Young Auditorium, recounts a modern-day expedition into an ancient and often baffling land.

It takes viewers through Coptic churches, into back streets of Cairo and shrines thronged by worshipers to a camel trek through desert wastes haunted by saints. It turns up shards of the past, tales passed down through generations and details about the travels of Jesus.
